Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Elijah Roberts; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at the 138th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Mafah value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 24th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than pick No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They did well to land Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in pick 67, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They jumped the gun on Jordan Phillips, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid up for Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at the 138th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 147 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 160th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 227 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at slot 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in pick 252, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
